My work

Beans Coffee Club
  • Wordpress e-commerce site, with a bespoke theme/plugins
  • Extends WooCommerce functionality
  • Extends WooCommerce Subcriptions functionality

Richard wanted a subscription model he couldn't get off the shelf.

His coffee subscription selections needed to be individually tailored to each user's selected preferences such that each users experience of the subscription was unique.

Examples of additional functionality include:

  • Users are able to review their coffees in a personal coffee journal.
  • Users can repeat or reject their coffees based on their personal rating of the coffees they receive.
  • Users change their coffee preferences without interrupting their subscription.
  • Richard can assess the popularity of specific coffees based on their ratings and reviews from users.

  • Extends WooCommerce Subcriptions functionality
  • Plain old HTML, CSS and JavaScript
  • Built to be fast, efficient and fully responsive.

There will be more examples of my work soon - but in the meantime... I built this site.

I wanted something lightweight, simple and quick to load which would display some of my technical skills.

I don't sell my design skills - but I hope you like it :)

About me

Front end developer Stephen Jordan-Toll

When I started working on the web IE5.5 was a thing, XHTML1.0 was the new kid on the block and everyone was raving about CSS2.1 and how we should stop using tables to design layouts.

Among many others, I'd like to think the following books and websites have influenced how I think about the web:

As a result I endeavour to build user-centered, responsive, & semantic web experiences.

As well as providing a good technical service - I try to be flexible and attentive for my clients.

I can continue to update and maintain any projects I build for you.

What Dental Wellbeing say about me...

From the very initial stages of analysis of my requirements and preferences, the format and style of the website, through to hosting and actually setting up the site and subsequent reviews of the finished site, everything was taken care of professionally and promptly. I was relieved and extremely pleased to have been introduced to Steve.”

So we started Beans Coffee Club a couple of years ago. We were looking for a developer who could build a website with bespoke functionality but in a cost effective and flexible way. Steve has been able to find a solution for every requirement which came up. As we launched with an MVP and tested new ideas there was a need for constant iteration and new functionality and Steve was able to advise on best approach to test things so that our investments were always optimised. We have been able to test and learn and build gradually based on insight and we now have a market leading website experience which is able to compete with some of the other businesses which have significant private investment. Our website and the backend technology is our business differentiator and I do not believe we would be where we are without Steve's expertise.”

Steve is a skilled developer who has worked with me on countless projects over the years, and he's been great to work with. I'm consistently happy with his output and solutions. He's diligent and cautious where appropriate, ensuring every angle is covered and we've considered all potential outcomes. Incredibly pro-active, will highlight potential pitfalls and opportunities ahead of the game and will steer projects into more satisfying directions with his forward thinking attitude. Aside from his methodologies, he is a brilliant human to work alongside, entertaining, witty and a fount of knowledge on various subjects which makes for a very comfortable working relationship. He has an infectious energy which is just what you need to keep you going through the long journey of application development.

Steve is a life saver. He has got me out of two disasters where my e-commerce website went down resulting in me not being able to accept any customer orders.

Neither issue was straightforward but Steve managed to fix it on both occasions and was honest about the outlook and the options I had.

I have complete faith in his ability I would highly recommend his services.
